[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0033] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Example

[0035] The following is for reference Figures 1-4 As shown in the illustration, and further explained with reference to specific embodiments, this embodiment provides core structures including a housing 1, a striking head 2, a driving component 3, and a sound wave receiver 4. Specifically, the housing 1 is square and has a handle 10 for easy operation. The side of the housing 1 that is in contact with the concrete has an open structure, and the opening of the housing 1 tapers radially inward to create a certain sound wave focusing effect and improve detection accuracy. To enhance the mobility of the device, rollers 12 are rotatably mounted at the four corners of the housing 1, allowing it to move smoothly along the concrete wall during the detection process.

[0036] The striking heads 2 are a pair, and each striking head 2 is fixedly provided with a guide rod 21. The cross-section of the guide rod 21 is circular, but it can also be square, elliptical, or polygonal to adapt to different installation requirements. The guide rod 21 slides through the outer shell 1, so that the striking head 2 can reciprocate along the direction of the guide rod 21 to achieve periodic striking of the concrete wall surface.

[0037] The driving component 3 is used to drive the striking head 2 to periodically strike the concrete wall. The driving component 3 can be implemented in various ways, including: 1. Electromagnetic drive: using an electromagnet as the driving source, the electromagnet generates magnetic force to attract or repel the striking head 2, causing it to reciprocate; 2. Pneumatic drive: using a cylinder as the driving source, the extension and retraction of the striking head 2 is controlled by air pressure to achieve periodic striking; 3. Mechanical cam drive: using an eccentric wheel or cam mechanism, the motor drives the eccentric wheel to rotate, causing the striking head 2 to reciprocate along the guide rod 21.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, each guide rod 21 is equipped with an elastic element 211. One end of the elastic element 211 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 21, and the other end is connected to the striking head 2. The elastic element 211 is in a pre-compressed state to provide a rebound force when the force is released, thereby driving the striking head 2 to move at high speed along the axial direction of the guide rod 21 and impact the concrete wall surface, achieving effective striking. At the same time, the elastic element 211 can provide a return function after the striking ends, allowing the striking head 2 to quickly return to its initial position after the impact, preparing for the next striking, thereby improving striking efficiency and continuity. In different embodiments, the elastic element 211 can be selected by pneumatic drive or pneumatically driven methods, etc.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the driving component 3 includes a pull rod 31, a limiting rod 32, and a first spring 33. The pull rod 31 has insertion slots 311 at both ends. The limiting rod 32 is slidably inserted into the insertion slots 311. The first spring 33 is located in the insertion slots 311, with one end connected to the bottom wall of the insertion slots 311 and the other end fixedly connected to the limiting rod 32. The hand handle 10 is 'n'-shaped. Both ends of the handle 10 have guide slots 111 along the length direction. One end of the limiting rod 32 is slidably connected to the guide slot 111. The guide slot 111 includes a guide surface 1111 and an unlocking slope 1112. The two unlocking slopes 1112 are not located on the same plane, so that the striking head 2 can strike the wall intermittently. The limiting rod 32 has an unlocking hole 321 and a limiting hole 322, which are interconnected.

[0040] The end of the guide rod 21 away from the striking head 2 is fixedly provided with a pull end 212. The diameter of the pull end 212 is the same as the diameter of the unlocking hole 321, and the diameter of the limiting hole 322 is smaller than the diameter of the pull end 212. The end of the pull end 212 away from the striking head 2 is conical. The unlocking inclined surface 1112 is used to drive the limiting rod 32 to slide axially along the guide groove 111 so that the unlocking hole 321 is directly opposite the pull end 212, thereby unlocking the pull end 212.

[0041] Reference Figure 4As shown, in the specific working process, in the initial state, the pull end 212 is engaged in the limiting hole 322, keeping the guide rod 21 in its original position. When the operator pulls the pull rod 31, because the diameter of the limiting hole 322 is smaller than the diameter of the pull end 212, the pull rod 31 will drive the guide rod 21 and the striking head 2 away from the concrete wall. At the same time, the limiting rod 32 slides axially under the action of the guide groove 111, gradually moving towards the unlocking slope 1112. Under the guidance of the unlocking slope 1112, the two limiting rods 32 will further retract until the unlocking hole 321 is directly opposite the pull end 212, so that the pull end 212 can smoothly pass into the unlocking hole 321, realizing the unlocked state. Under the action of the elastic element 211, the striking head 2 can then strike the concrete wall. Meanwhile, since the end of the pulling head 212 away from the striking head 2 is cone-shaped, during the process of direct contact with the limiting hole 322 (the moving direction B of the limiting rod 32), the pulling head 212 will be guided into the unlocking hole 321. After the pulling head 212 passes through the unlocking hole 321, under the action of the first spring 33, the limiting rods 32 on both sides will move away at the same time, and the pulling head 212 will be re-engaged into the limiting hole 322, so that the striking head 2 is reset and ready for the next operation.

[0042] As an optional embodiment, the bottom walls of both the unlocking hole 321 and the limiting hole 322 are provided with guide slopes to guide the pointed end of the pulling end 212.

[0043] As an optional embodiment, the elastic element 211 includes a second spring 2111, which is sleeved on the guide rod 21 and located inside the housing 1. One end of the second spring 2111 is fixedly connected to the striking head 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the housing 1.

[0044] Furthermore, a magnetic ring 5 is embedded in the housing 1 at the point where it protrudes from the guide rod 21, and a metal ring 23 that can attract the magnetic ring 5 is fixedly mounted on the guide rod 21. The metal ring 23 can be made of iron-nickel alloy or electromagnetic stainless steel to ensure a good magnetic adsorption effect. It should be noted that the elastic force of the second spring 2111 should be much greater than the magnetic force of the magnetic ring 5 and the metal ring 23. This ensures that during the striking process, the guide rod 21 can still smoothly drive the striking head 2 to impact the wall normally to complete the predetermined task. After the striking is completed, the magnetic attraction between the magnetic ring 5 and the metal ring 23 can provide a certain buffering force during the rebound of the guide rod 21, thereby reducing the repeated rebounds of the striking head 2 due to inertia, improving striking stability, reducing the impact of mechanical vibration on the equipment, and preventing fatigue damage to the guide rod 21 and related components due to frequent impacts, thus improving the overall service life.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the sound wave receiver 4 includes a pair of high-sensitivity microphones 41. The sound input ends of the high-sensitivity microphones 41 are respectively mounted facing the striking head 2 to facilitate accurate acquisition of sound wave signals during the striking process and improve the sound signal acquisition effect. The sound output ends of the high-sensitivity microphones 41 are located on the outside of the housing 1 so that the staff can hear and analyze them in a timely manner. To reduce the impact of environmental noise on the detection accuracy, the high-sensitivity microphones 41 are equipped with noise filtering elements. These noise filtering elements can use multi-layer filtering materials or digital signal processing technology to effectively reduce the interference of external environmental noise and improve the clarity and accuracy of the striking sound wave signal.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a rubber ring 6 is fixedly bonded circumferentially to the opening of the housing 1. The rubber ring 6 can be made of wear-resistant and shock-absorbing rubber material to enhance the sealing of the housing 1, prevent external noise interference, and prevent dust or impurities from entering the housing 1 and affecting the normal operation of the device. In addition, the rubber ring 6 can also play a role in buffering and shock absorption during equipment operation, reducing the vibration amplitude of the housing 1 caused by impact, improving the service life of the equipment, and enhancing operational stability.

[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
